Girls with Dubs?

[ogvr6]

don't want to see you in the kitchen ,rather see you under the hood ....

[damms22]

1. there are plenty of ladies into volkswagens.
2. don't call them "dubs"
3. please don't refer to your car as "him" unless you are 16.
4. here is my piece -

love the mate black...AMAZING!!!!

[Amberliscious]

yeah some of the guys are real d-bags, but some arent so its like hit or miss. your not alone in your experience at that meet and online. Things will get better as more girls get into these cars and the boys start to see we know just as much as them ....

Yeah, I've figured that out. That was a few years ago when I first got my Jetta. I have found some that show respect since then. But I still have to say, I think being a water cooled guy has something to do with it sometimes!

I had never had a guy with an air cooled be a di(k me because my beetle wasn't up to their standards. That's why I kept to my air cooled crowd even after I sold mine. But, I am starting to get a little borde being the odd ball since they won't go to "the water pumping fests" all the time. And they do tease me about not being cool anymore since I don't have an old VW. But that's all in fun, I've known them for 10 years.

whats better is when you come across a 16-18 old where you already know more than him b.c his daddy bought him an already modified vw and he doesn't know jack sh*t about it ha

Yup!

you see, that's what makes us awesome..we got vw's, do our own work AND manage to still spend time in the kitchen.

Exactly!

Because women are actually capable of multi-tasking.

[iskr33m]

It's cool to see girls getting into the vw scene. I wish there were some in new zealand. I have alot of respect for girls who know what they're doing with cars.

[BarryV]

Oh Hi!

I've had 5 VWs. My last was a MkIV GTI 1.8T that I did a K04 turbo swap on, lots of supporting engine mods and so forth. Mainly engine work was done, just some minor aesthetics otherwise like euro bumpers, 4 motion valences, Emphase skirts etc...etc...



I never really got a chance to finish it, but it was a blast to drive. I only wanted to have one project car on the go, so I sold the MkIV so I could have more time/financial resources to devote to building my MkII




Anyways, back when I first joined here there weren't many other girls that were really into it (but definitely still some with sick cars) . Lots of girls whose boyfriends built their cars seem to pop up, but it's always cool to see more girls who know their stuff 'round here. Unfortunately this thread is like many of the other "girls with vws" threads and has more drama than necessary. Relax, yo.

Cheers

I am pretty sure I just fell in love....

[Moofluffen]

I am pretty sure I just fell in love....

Haha thanks I think?

[BarryV]

Haha thanks I think?

Oh for sure! Only problem is I dont know who would get more attention... you, or your mkII

[Moofluffen]

Oh for sure! Only problem is I dont know who would get more attention... you, or your mkII

Haha oh wow, I'll just leave that one alone. There's only 1 other person that gets to drive the GTI though...

Is that white GTI yours? Looks so nice

[my1stgolf]

took rabbit head apart lastnite... all new valve seals installed

Awesome Valve seals are a bitch lol.

Pics of said Rabbit?

Ha... It is such a beautiful car (your mkII of course!)

Yes, and thanks! I completely understand your sentiment... My brother is the only other person that has driven my car since I have owned it...

I hear ya, Mine's nothing special... just your average 20 year old econo-sport-hatch but I'm rather attached to it. My MkIV wasn't very low at all and yet the odd time I let someone else drive it, it would end up with a scrape on the valence. I can only imagine what might occur with the MkII
I just don't want to run the risk of someone else damaging it... too many possible complications.

Any links to more photos of yours??

So wrong indeed! I love clean mkII's....


No more pictures at this time... I'll post a few of when I bought it, and while I owned it but was broke (IE: in the military!) I am starting to build on it now, but have not had the motivation or time to clean it up for pictures yet...

[Moofluffen]

Well it looks good as is so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your GTI next

[my1stgolf]

pics of rabbit my friend....

[RoadRunner219]

GotMyDub, that mk2 is GORGEOUS.


Currently building an '85 GTI for ICSCC Conference Racing

I also auto cross this baby:




A couple of the ones I've had in the past:

The red one I miss so much:


Flipped this one.

Is that your bfs car or something? Or did you buy it from a guy recently? I can't remember his SN but I have TONS of photos of that car which I saved on my old computer years ago and the owner was a guy.... maybe it's just a look-alike? Awesome car regardless.

[vento86]

i <3 mk1s

My BF used to drive a MkIV, but he's never had a MkII. I wouldn't take credit for a car that belongs to a boyrfriend either haha. I bought the car almost completely stock 3 years ago from a non-Vortex'er so it must just be a look-a-like. I'd be curious to see some pics of this twin though! Your MkI is sick... any specs on the engine work?

Here's what the car looked like when I purchased it:



All stock, original 16V, not even an aftermarket CD player. Only the ugly Ronal R8s which I removed rather quickly lol.

[kerensuissa]

this was mine


until this happened


and now the silver one is mine which is still in its beginning stages. unfortunately, the audi is not mine

[vento86]

wow you are really cute

[MissSixtyGLi]

Hahaha...there is a whole mess of us ladies on here with VWs. You didn't see the H20 Ladies Photoshoot thread?

Since we're all sharing, here are my POS's...

1987 Cabby 2.0L 16v


2001 Golf 1.8t


1978 Rabbit 1.8t - it found me


The Biggest POS - '10 Impreza STI


I working on getting another mk4 GLI or 20th at the moment...or an older STI. Apparently I think I need more cars.

[vento86]

i feel ya, my rabbit found me too. i love the schmidt rims. where did you get them and how much?

[my1stgolf]

you can never have too many cars...

[Moofluffen]

That 1.8T Rabbit is awesome. I'm not really feeling the colour matched bumpers, but no big deal. The TH Lines look perfect on it Stock 1.8T or no?

[RoadRunner219]

Wow then props! Ya I'll try to find photos of it, just can't remember his screen name. J-something... it's been years haha

That Jetta I bought not running, $700 bucks! Simply swapped out the blown head for a rebuilt one, did the seals, etc. Lowered it on Tokikos with HOR springs and sold it for $2k! The Red GTI was my pride and joy. Peppiest 8v ever. I do 90% of the work on my cars. Brendon hops in when I don't have the strength to lift something! haha I help out with the TraksClothing racecar, and I'm currently building my own conference road race car as well However, atm, I'm driving my big lifted Jeep and a snowmobile!

Oh, here's one photo I had saved of his car aka your twin: Jazzman, that's his name. Little different wheels now that I look at it but almost the same!

[Moofluffen]

Wow then props! Ya I'll try to find photos of it, just can't remember his screen name. J-something... it's been years haha

Awesome. Just awesome. I love to hear of built N/A 16Vs. There's something so cool about that.

Thanks for the props I try to do as much work on my GTI as I can. I have more time to focus on it now that the MkIV is sold and it's my only build (I've got an '08 Volvo S40 T5 AWD 6MT on KW V1s and awaiting wheels that I daily the rest of the time and a Toyota FJ to mess around with). I've just got to commit some money to buying a donor car with a 1.8T so I can do a mild turbo build and stuff it in the GTI for a little more "go"

Best of luck building the road race car! Sounds like a cool project. Any planned motor specs for it?

and yeah, if you have some pics of my car's twin post 'em up! I've only seen one other set of these wheels but they were 1pc version. I'd love to see some pics of other sets

EDIT: Jazzman's car is awwwwesome. One of the big inspirations for me getting a MkII. His wheels are actually OZ Turbos, though. Amazing car for sure.

Because of class rules, we have to keep it pretty close to stock. We decided to go with a 1.8 16v and have a lower wieght allowance rather than the 2.0 16v. So we're sacrificing a small amount of power for a big amount of wieght reduction. This way the car can be competetive Kinda funny though, since the two of us will be racing in the same car, we have to ad weights on the weekends that I am racing to keep to the rules. lol! I don't recall exactly off the top of my head but we can't use a standalone EFI. We have to keep the stock CIS in there. HOWEVER, we can use the megasquirt ignition

[Moofluffen]

Yeah, there's sooo many class restrictions lol. Ah well, sounds like a blast

[dangerkart]

what is wrong with the impreza? i wish i would have kept mine around. i had a 2001 and sold it.

[JessRabbid]

i wish i had gone with the 16v, right now im in the midst of dropping a built mk2 8v into my mk1 cabby (pics on page 1 or 2) heres the build thread:

[MissSixtyGLi]

The TH lines were on the car when it came to me. I couldn't tell you how much they were, they're like 8 or so years old.

That 1.8T Rabbit is awesome. I'm not really feeling the colour matched bumpers, but no big deal. The TH Lines look perfect on it Stock 1.8T or no?

Stock 1.8t! Anything more and it wouldn't get traction in any gears!

what is wrong with the impreza? i wish i would have kept mine around. i had a 2001 and sold it.

Nothing wrong with the Impreza! I love my baby! We just refer to it as the POS cause it's really not. It's been a great car so far, I am really impressed with it being my first Japanese car. It just needs an exhaust. Can't wait to use it this winter!
